Jack Grieve of Southern Pest Control gave us exceptional service. He was punctual, professional, very helpful, and accommodating - spraying all our outdoor furniture, three bay shed, pool fence, and house.  Great value for money for a sterling job.  We won’t be using any other pest control firm but will be repeat customers for Jack going forward.
